Thank you for all the support for Wadsworth’s Relay for Life
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
On behalf of the American Cancer Society’s Wadsworth Relay For Life and ELT committee, I would like to take a moment to thank all those who sponsored and/or supported our event this year. Thank you to the City of Wadsworth; Giant Eagle; Summa Health; Sussman & Associates, Inc.; The Iris Gifts & Engraving; American Legion Post 170; Galaxy Restaurant; Wadsworth Pediatrics; Wadsworth Walmart; Elsass Financial Group; Wadsworth Buehler’s; Wadsworth Veterinary Hospital; Sean Hamilton & Buckeye Power Sales; Michael Dee & Pinnacle Towing; Stephen Burns with the Celtic Eagle Pipe Band; Wadsworth Masonic Lodge 385; Grace Lutheran Church; Wadsworth Band Boosters; OMG Inflatables; the Wadsworth Fire/EMS Department; Antonio’s Pizza of Wadsworth; Emily Dorland; Mayor Laubaugh; Tom Stugmyer; Maria Daull; and Jennie Badalamenti.
Due to construction at the high school track, our event needed to relocate to a new venue for this summer. We moved the 18-hour event to Memorial Park and the overwhelmingly positive response to the new setting was wonderful – both from the teams that set up camp for the 18 hours of the event, as well as the many residents of the community who stopped by to enjoy free family fun entertainment and/or to check out the many fun (and even yummy) on-site fundraising that was going on throughout the day and night. Local cancer survivors and their caregivers were treated to a lunch in their honor, as well as walking the honorary first lap around the pond to get things started after the opening ceremony. In the evening, we took a moment to reflect upon and remember those no longer with us during the luminaria ceremony. We had over 60 baskets and items in our centrally located raffle area this year and that was a huge hit. New this year, we had local vendors set up during part of the event, which was also a hit.
The weather was beautiful, the venue was beyond beautiful and the support of all the sponsors, individuals and community was heartwarmingly beautiful!
